    What an interesting planter. Looking forward to seeing the blooms of Sagina. It's not a plant I'm familiar with.

    Have a great weekend ~ FlowerLady

    You mentioned earlier in my post how cute... I say this is how pretty!! LOL :D A big shout out to your sister Nikki! I so love the green hues in different texture and shapes. Also the way she planted them in little coconut pots. Again, very pretty!!! Thanks for sharing this wonderful work. Have a wonderful week ahead.

    Quite an unusual planter. It will be fun to watch the plants grow and fill in and add character to the planter itself.

    Thank you Autumn, Steph and Ann. She hasn't treated her vine yet I'm hoping no other bugs take interest in it. So far she has a visiting honey bee and she is trying to figure out how to discourage it without using insecticide.
